This afternoon, diane and I attended our freind Pat’s Wake at Giffords..

I always have trouble walking in that place.. though i have great respect for what they do.. they are there for everyone in town when they need it most. .  they helped us when Sam died.

Pat’s whole family was there from 2-6.. the whole town probably showed up soemwhere in there.. We were there around 3..

The funeral card said it all. on the front ahanndsoem picture of Pat..  he looked jsut like that from the day I first saw hi.. i think in 1980.. until the week before he died..

on the back was perfectly captured the way he spoke. he was a true taciturn Vermonter.. who’s face always said what he was feeling.. even when his moth wouldn’t 🙂

Pats whoel family was there.. it was good seeing them all.. There were lots of pictures in there.. too

including this one of us.. the same one is on my mom’s fridge at home, i think .

Im lookign overat Pats house now as I type.. it’s dark there now.. I cansee the christmas tree lit up in the back yard.we’re really going to miss him..

Rest in peace freind..

nite all, nite sam
